FOREWORD 

Personnel  Specifications  for  enlisted  men  of  the  Motor  Transport 
Corps  are  herewith  issued. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  Personnel  Specifications  include  the  Army 
title,  the  authorization  of  the  various  grades  according  to  the  Tables  of 
Organization,  the  corresponding  civilian  occupation,  the  degree  of  skill 
at  the  occupation  and  the  occupational  symbol  (used  in  the  classifica- 
tion of  all  enlisted  men)  which  are  commonly  found  in  the  Tables  of 
Occupational  Needs  for  various  branches  and  corps  of  the  service  here- 
tofore published.  In  addition,  Personnel  Specifications  include  a 
suggested  substitute  for  the  civilian  occupations  and  a  description  of  the 
duties  of  each  grade. 

Several  limitations  to  the  complete,  intelligent  use  of  any  sort  of 
tables  of  occupational  organization  of  Army  units  have  created  the 
necessity  for  tables  where  the  duties  of  various  grades  are  specified. 
The  Tables  of  Occupational  Needs  prescribe  the  trade  specialists  re- 
quired to  organize  and  maintain  the  organization  of  well-balanced  units. 
The  personnel  office  in  preparing  a  requisition  for  men  for  the  organiza- 
tion which  is  forming  can  from  the  Tables  of  Occupational  Needs  alone 
get  the  material  for  the  telegram  requisitioning  these  men.  But  in 
making  an  assignment  of  the  men  provided  to  fill  the  requisition  more 
than  the  bare  terms  of  the  civilian  occupation  required  must  be  taken 
into  account  if  the  assignment  is  to  remain  permanent. 

For  two  sergeants,  both  to  be  drawn  from  the  same  occupation,  one  to 
function  as  a  radio  sergeant,  heavy  artillery,  and  the  other  as  a  ser- 
geant, first  class,  Air  Service,  the  personnel  officer  would  make  no  choice 
between  two  wireless  operators,  but  would  indiscriminately  send  one  to 
the  regiment  of  heavy  artillery  and  the  other  to  the  motor  mechanics 
regiment.  But  when  he  reads  in  Personnel  Specifications  for  the  par- 
ticular arm  he  is  considering  the  following  concerning  the  radio  sergeant: 

1  Radio  Sergeant Wireless  or  buzzer  operator          1    Jour.      31  w 

Substitute :  Telegrapher. 

Cares  for  and  operates  wireless  apparatus  and  makes  repairs 
under  adverse  conditions.  Required  to  send  and  receive 
fifteen  words  per  minute. 

while  the  other,  the  sergeant  first  class,  Air  Service,  is  merely  defined  as 

1  Wireless  Operator Wireless  operator          1    Jour.      31w 

Supervises  the  testing  of  repaired  radio  units  and  accessory 
wireless  apparatus. 

Ill 


he  will  send  the  man  whose  card  shows  more  athletic  activity  and  greater 
mental  alertness  to  the  artillery,  while  the  man  with  more  academic 
ability  in  radio  telegraphy  and  construction  will  be  sent  to  the  electrical 
repair  company  of  the  motor  mechanics  regiment,  and  both  will  have 
much  better  prospects  of  remaining  in  this  assignment  than  had  a  ran- 
dom selection  been  made  merely  from  the  civilian  occupation.  Fre- 
quently the  personnel  officer  will  find  that  the  definition  of  duties 
describes  the  limits  of  duties.  From  this  may  be  inferred  the  range  of 
qualifications  which  the  man  must  possess  in  order  to  be  of  the  utmost 
use  to  his  company.  In  every  case  he  will  find  the  qualifications  stated 
in  terms  of  what  the  man  actually  does,  for  it  has  been  determined 
that  with  such  a  statement  the  tables  can  be  used  to  greatest  advan- 
tage both  by  personnel  officers  and  by  commanding  officers. 

The  limitations  upon  successfully  assigning  men  in  a  personnel  office 
have  created  another  necessity  for  Tables  of  Specification.  Not  only 
is  some  guide  required  by  the  personnel  officer  in  making  initial  assign- 
ments, but  it  is  also  necessary  to  point  the  way  for  the  organization 
commander.  It  can  not  be  taken  for  granted  that  a  man  assigned  by 
the  personnel  officer  will  in  every  instance  function  as  it  is  intended  he 
should.  In  some  instances  it  has  been  found  not  only  that  he  does  not 
so  function,  but  that  he  is  never  given  a  chance  to  do  so.  This  is  not 
because  of  any  opposition  to  giving  him  a  chance  to  demonstrate  how 
far  his  occupational  qualifications  fit  him  for  performing  Army  duties, 
but  because  the  relation  between  the  civilian  occupation  and  the  Army 
duties  is  not  in  every  case  apparent.  In  the  case  of  cooks  the  relation 
is  so  obvious  that  no  one  could  mistake  it,  but  there  are  other  occupa- 
tions the  relations  of  which  to  Army  duties  are  not  so  patent  as  those  of 
cooks.  Right  here  the  tables  find  their  practical  usefulness.  They 
enable  the  company  commander  to  compare  what  the  man  does  in  his 
company  with  the  occupation  which  most  nearly  fits  him  to  perform 
these  duties.  Then  it  is  a  logical  step  to  take  the  Qualification  Cards 
and  the  assignment  as  made  by  the  personnel  officer  and  to  place  the 
man  in  the  position  where  his  occupational  qualifications  relate  to  the 
Army  functon. 

Each  set  of  Tables  of  Occupational  Needs  and  Personnel  Specifica- 
tions contains  the  following  statement,  which  prescribes  their  use: 

The  purpose  of  these  tables  is  to  assist  in  fitting  into  the  Army 
civilian  occupational  experience  where  it  will  be  utilized  to  the  best 
advantage.  Because  of  the  scarcity  of  men  possessing  trade  ability, 
the  occupations  specified  in  these  tables  have  been  divided  into  two 
groups :  S 

(a)  Those  that  are  essential  to  successful  operation  are  known 
as  the  MAIN  GROUP  and  are  to  be  provided. 

(b)  Those  that  are  desirable  but  not  entirely  essential  to  sucess- 
ful  operation  are  listed  under  LESS  ESSENTIAL  GROUP,  and 

IV 


are  to  be  fitted  in  as  indicated,  provided  they  are  available  and  are 
not  needed  for  assignment  elsewhere  in  some  MAIN  GROUP. 

In  the  organization  of  units  requisitions  for  occupationalists 
will  therefore  be  honored  only  in  order  to  complete  such  MAIN 
GROUPS. 

In  the  following  tables  the  LESS  ESSENTIAL  GROUP  is  in  no 
case  included  in  the  totals  of  the  unit.  Although  desirable  that 
any  or  all  of  the  specialists  called  for  in  this  group  should  be  allotted 
to  each  unit  as  a  whole,  it  is  not  necessary  to  assign  the  men  called 
for  in  the  group  to  any  particular  section  of  the  unit;  moreover, 
since  they  can  not  be  requisitioned,  their  presence  in  an  organiza- 
tion depends  upon  whether  they  are  to  be  found  at  the  station  of 
formation  of  the  unit.  For  these  reasons,  the  LESS  ESSENTIAL 
GROUP  is  in  every  instance  appended  to  the  Tables  of  Personnel 
Specifications. 

Therefore,  when  any  or  all  of  the  occupational  specialists  of  a 
LESS  ESSENTIAL  GROUP  are  assigned  to  any  organization,  the 
total  number  of  men  whose  occupations  are  "not  specified"  remain- 
ing in  the  organization  will  be  decreased  by  the  number  of  specialists 
of  the  LESS  ESSENTIA.L  GROUP  added  to  the  organization,  and 
the  number  of  occupational  specialists  already  assigned  will  be 
increased  by  the  same  number. 

The  utilization  of  all  the  resources  of  supply  has  provided  the  possi- 
bility of  assigning  to  each  organization  the  trade  ability  actually 
required  in  order  to  enable  the  organization  properly  to  operate. 
Moreover,  occupationalist  specialists  are  quite  as  essential  to  successful 
operation  as  i  <.  ient  used  by  the  organization  in  the  field.  Telegra- 

phers and  buzzer  operators  are  as  necessary  to  the  complete  functioning 
of  a  Field  Signal  Battalion  as  are  rifles  and  bayonets  to  -a  rifle  company 
of  the  infantry  regiment.  In  the  first  days  of  the  present  Army  the 
necessity  for  occupational  specialists  was  usually  vague,  and  incohe- 
rently expressed  where  it  was  known ;  but  now  the  greater  expansion 
of  the  Army  and  the  increased  specialization  of  units  have  made  it 
necessary  to  secure  to  the  organization  performing  duties  of  an  intricate 
or  technical  nature  men  who  by  period  of  civilian  training  at  the  various 
arts  and  trades  have  become  especiaUV  fitted  to  perform  these  functions. 

The  actual  assignment  of  these  specialists  is  qualified  by  conditions 
which,  owing  to  the  haste  in  war  training,  it  is  not  possible  to  overcome. 
There  are  certain  occupations  necessary  to  successful  operation  in  the 
field,  which  it  is  not  possible  to  supply  in  the  number  stated  as  essential 
in  the  various  Tables  of  Personnel  Specifications.  These  occupational 
specialists  are  produced  only  after  many  years  of  civilian  training  and 
the  industries  which  produce  them  are  not  extensively  developed.  The 
number  of  civilians  entering  the  Army  who  possess  trade  ability  of  a 
rare  kind  is  therefore  not  enough  to  fill  the  demand.  To  meet  this 
condition  but  one  solution  is  possible:  To  give  men  of  civilian  occupa- 
tions allied  to  these  rare  ones  a  brief  but  comprehensive  period  of 
training  in  the  Army  specialty  they  will  be  called  upon  to  perform.  This 


has  in  many  instances  been  done,  and  when  the  authorization  of  various 
Tables  of  Personnel  Specifications  in  all  staff  corps  and  branches  and 
arms  of  the  service  is  determined,  it  will  be  possible  by  adjusting  the 
supply  to  the  demand  to  foresee  exactly  what  numbers  of  these  men 
must  be  trained  to  fill  the  demand. 

Now  that  these  Tables  are  in  usable  form,  there  no  longer  remains 
any  reason  for  the  misplacement  of  skilled  occupational  specialists. 
Without  good  reason  misplacements  should  in  no  case  be  permitted. 
An  electrical  instrument  maker  or  repairman  must  be  used  in  a  Field 
Signal  Battalion  on  the  work  for  which  he  is  trained,  not  as  assistant 
cook.  Specialists  are  uncommon  and  valuable.  It  requires  more  time 
to  produce  a  good  draftsman  than  it  does  to  make  a  bayonet,  yet  the 
soldier  is  prohibited  from  chopping  wood  or  opening  cans  with  the  bay- 
onet, while  draftsmen  in  many  instances  have  been  used,  not  for  the 
task  for  which  their  training  has  prepared  them,  but  for  duties  for  which 
they  have  had  no  training,  or  which  do  not  challenge  their  ability. 
This  is  wastage  of  the  worst  sort,  for  while  the  piece  of  material  destroyed 
can  be  replaced  in  a  short  time  by  another  which  will  function  quite  as 
well,  the  trade  specialist  lost  to  the  service  can  not.  And  at  the  present 
time,  when  every  person  possessing  trade  ability  has  a  peculiar  place  in 
the  Army,  specialists  assigned  by  personnel  officers  to  organizations  must 
be  thoroughly  tried  out  in  the  place  which  they  are  assigned  to  fill. 

The  intelligent  use  of  these  tables  is,  therefore,  as  important  as  the 
occupational  classification  of  the  men  in  making  full  use  of  the  manpower 
of  the  nation.

DIVISION.     WATER  TANK  TRAIN  (MOTOR) 

(TABLES  OF  ORGANIZATION  No.  26) 

The  truck  companies  of  divisional  supply  trains  (infantry  and  cavalry)  are  identical. 
A  train  ordinarily  consists  of  5  truck  companies  for  a  cavalry  and  6  for  an  infantry 
division.  If,  however,  3-ton  trucks  are  provided  in  place  of  2-ton  trucks  the  number 
of  truck  companies  in  the  supply  train  will  be  reduced  to  three;  if  5-ton  trucks  are 
provided  the  number  of  companies  will  be  reduced  to  two.  If  trucks  smaller  than 
2-ton  are  provided  the  number  will  be  increased  so  as  to  provide  the  same  cargo 
capacity,  and  the  number  of  chauffeurs,  assistant  chauffeurs,  and  rifles  will  be 
changed  accordingly. 

A  water  tank  train  (motor)  is  the  same  as  a  divisional  supply  train,  with  variation 
as  indicated  in  Table  26a  (by  the  omission  of  two  typewriter  repairmen),  and  as 
hereinafter  indicated  (by  two  less  assistant  chauffeurs),  except  that  in  addition  to 
5  %-ton  truck  companies  there  is  a  sixth  company  of  3-ton  laboratory  trucks  for 
bacteriological  work.  This  fifth  company  is  organized  the  same  as  the  other  com- 
panies, except  for  the  addition  of  14  sergeant-mechanics  and  pumpmen  for  the 
laboratory  trucks. 

Army  title  set  in  bold  face  type  followed  on  the  same  line  by  the  corresponding
